Starting a new thread so as not to derail the business of figuring out who will do what.
First of all, thanks Aris for assessing our situation, and thanks again G. for working to get things moving. Does anyone know how often it happens that most of the important offices are vacant or essentially so for an extended period of time? I wasn't thinking of this as a crisis until Aris described it as such, but maybe that's because I was assuming this must be nothing new.
